Current world number one and 23-time Grand Slam victor Serena Williams said in March 2016, shortly after Sharapova had given a press conference announcing the positive test, that the Russian had taken responsibility for the situation.
Bouchard said the Women's Tennis Association was sending the wrong message in allowing the five-time Grand Slam-winner to come back from her 15-month suspension.
French tennis federation president Bernard Giudicelli said Wednesday that the announcement will be made on Facebook on May 16 at 7 p.m. local time.
Sharapova says she would "play in the juniors" if it meant competing in this year's French Open and Wimbledon.

Sharapova's match against Vinci took place just hours after the suspension had been lifted. "What will that change to my tennis?" she said after being asked if she would try to mend fences with her fellow players. "She's a great player great person great champion [but] this is my personal opinion". "I put the racquet away for a little bit", she added.
The 30-year-old beat Italian Roberta Vinci at the Stuttgart Open in Germany. "It's so unfair to all the other players who do it the right way and are true", Bouchard said.

WTA Tour chief Steve Simon defended Maria Sharapova's wildcard entry into the Stuttgart Open, pointing to other sports and their treatment of former dopers as an example.
Sharapova started the second set with another break of serve, winning her fourth game in a row, and the signs were looking ominous for Vinci, although she did manage three break points against the Sharapova serve in the next game - but could take none of them.
Top-ranked players Angelique Kerber and Andy Murray are among those who have questioned whether Sharapova should be allowed to resume her career in main draws without playing her way back through qualifiers. "She's had a year and a half".
One has to remember that she is not known too much for making 'close friends.' The Russian is featuring as a wild-card in Stuttgart, and is also set to play in Madrid and Rome soon.
With the win, Sharapova has now set up a second-round encounter against Russia's Ekaterina Makarova, who clinched a 6-2, 6-4 win over Polish star Agnieszka Radwanska.
